College Counseling & Student Development Program Information
Thesis versus non-thesis option (Plan A versus Plan B)
Before completing "Proposed Program of Graduate Study" blue forms for candidacy (see page 9), students need to decide whether to follow Plan A or Plan B, thesis or non-thesis option, respectively. For those planning to pursue a doctoral degree in the future, conducting research and/or publishing a work should strongly be considered. Research can be done with either Plan A or Plan B.
Plan A, thesis option, requirements:
CEEP 675, Research Methods in Applied Psychology, 3 Credits
CEEP 678, Introduction to Graduate Statistics, 3 Credits
CEEP 699, Thesis, 6 Credits
Students who are planning to write a thesis should carefully read the Graduate Bulletin, and a manual for the preparation of "Field Studies, Theses, Creative Works, and Starred Papers". Note that the book "A Manual for the Preparation of Field Studies, Theses, Creative Works, or Starred Paper(s)" should be obtained from the Graduate Studies Office in AS-121.
Plan B, non-thesis option, requirements:
CEEP 675, Research Methods in Applied Psychology, 3 Credits
CEEP 678, Introduction to Graduate Statistics, 3 Credits
Students may also take EDR 689, Seminar: Research Reporting. In this independent study class students conduct the research projects planned in CEEP 675. This allows students to conduct research without writing a thesis.
